High school students

The Awful Truth was a newsletter issued by the student Public Affairs Committee. With the purpose of informing Dalton students about the “major goings on in the world... The paper condenses many items in the news today and often adds a touch of humor.” The newsletter was published from 1976–1977.

This publication was the work of members of the Dalton Student Curriculum Committee. Progressive education and aspects of the Dalton Plan were some of the topics covered in this collection of editorial articles.

Conceived as a collection of editorials, The Dalton Alternative was a submissions based newsletter “aimed at provoking an open, dynamic and unrestricted forum for the voices of the student body.”

This weekly newsletter was “designed to supplement (not supplant) the venerable Daltonian, by providing a more current, if less polished, account of events in and around the school. We believe that the “student apathy” that cuts attendance at games and performances, and reduces participation in many worthwhile Dalton activities results mainly from a lack of student awareness. The Dispatch will let you know what’s going on and how you can get involved.” September 4, 1979
